Atletico Madrid faces potential absences in their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, with Pablo Barrios ruled out due to a hamstring injury and Julian Alvarez uncertain due to discomfort. Alvarez, who has nine Champions League goals this season, did not play against Athletic Club to avoid risking further injury. While Atletico hopes to include him in the starting lineup, his participation depends on his recovery in the coming days. With other players also struggling with discomfort, Alvarez’s absence would significantly impact the team’s chances.
